The bad: Poorly designed navigation controls; limited integrated memory.
The bottom line: The Sony Ericsson W850i offers the great performance and high-end features we've come to expect from the company's Walkman phones, but its usability is hampered by unintuitive controls.

Pros: A lot
Cons: No one-key exit from menu
Opinion:
I'm a Nokia user for many years so what do you expect? Scroll keys operation takes several days to practice before getting used to it. Occasionally SPACE key still confuses me!
Memory stick slot hard to access, and SIM card slot is also a pain in the thumb! You'll sweat
Keypad tactility sometimes lags when you're a fast text messager.
But over-all I'm satisfied with my new phone. The music rocks, much better with my previous N73 ME especially the headsets!
The camera section boosts its usability with its built -in flash. You can make it as a torch during power failure.
I managed to have a battery power for 2 days, not bad though I'm listening to music most of the time.
Enough said, I'm proud to have this phone!
